Advanced Launcher is an integrated toolbar and tray launcher. It can show several fully customizable toolbars at a time. When we click a toolbar button it can either run an application (open a document) or show multilevel customizable menu. Menus can also show contents of folders (e.g. Programs folder from the Start menu or Desktop folder). We can dock toolbars to the screen edges, can minimize toolbars to the tray and access their contents by clicking on the tray icon (menu with the contents of the toolbar will be shown). Advanced Launcher is a handy alternative or supplement to the Start menu and Desktop.

Fast Launcher is an application and document launcher, that runs in the system tray and provides a compact toolbar with tabbed categories, that we can use for quick access to our favorite programs, websites, or documents. We can simply drag and drop items into the toolbar, and then access them by clicking on the icon, using a keyboard hotkey, or tray icon menu. Fast Launcher supports custom parameters for each items, and also allows us to launch multiple items at once.

LaunchIt NOW! Plus provides quick access to our frequently used programs, files, folders and favorite URLs. It runs in the system tray and offers a customizable desktop-like interface with full size icons of our favorite items. Adding new items is as simple as dragging them into the interface or selecting them from a list. Furthermore, we can organize all our shortcuts into custom named tabs, dock it to any screen edge and more. The program also offers free add-ons to extend the functionality.

Quick Starter is an application launcher that allows us to launch our favorite programs, documents, folders or links from the right-click menu of a system tray icon. The program also includes a task scheduler to automatically start programs at specific times, or to shut down the computer. Furthermore, Quick Starter includes a handy feature to edit the PlacesBar (the folder bar in Open/Save dialog) and add our own shortcuts to the list.

Super Launch-o-matic is a simple application launcher that allows us to open programs, documents, folders, web pages from an easily accessible tray menu. In addition, we can also assign keyboard shortcuts to each, so the item can be launched by pressing a hotkey combination on our keyboard. Super Launch-o-matic also supports email items (one-click email sending) and text snippets that can be copied to the clipboard (email signatures etc.). The program supports drag and drop, custom categories.

In a word, Advanced Launcher is a handy alternative or supplement to the Start menu and Desktop. It can show several fully customizable toolbars at a time. Fast Launcher is very flexible. We can simply drag and drop items into the toolbar, and then access them by clicking on the icon, using a keyboard hotkey, or tray icon menu. LaunchIt NOW!
